10 Unusual Uses Of Coca Cola in The Home

Did you know people use Coca Cola for actual household chores? We’re not kidding! From cleaning surfaces to relieving itches and body hurts, the chemical properties in Coca-Cola actually come in handy for solving our daily problems. It just goes to show that with a bit of creativity and innovation,  expensive items like cleaning solvents and medicine can be substituted with the most unconventional items. As promised, here are some quite unusual uses of everyone’s favourite beverage: 1. Removes blood stains from clothes: Mix a detergent of your choice with Coca-Cola to get rid of pesky blood stains on your precious clothes. 2.  For multipurpose cleaning: From room floors to kitchen surfaces, Coca-Cola is surprisingly great for cleaning. Simply pour in a can of coke into a bucket water and get to work. 3. Relieves mosquito bite itching: Yes, believe it or not, rubbing Coca-Cola on the bite actually helps to reduce the itch. Its properties destroy the saliva that trigger its local allergic reaction. 4. Alleviates stomach upsets: Next time your stomach’s in a bad state, try gulping down a drink of Coke to relieve the discomfort. Its rehydrating benefit effectively replaces body fluids and electrocytes which can cause upsets. Coke can also be used as a natural remedy for indigestion. The soda in the drink can partially neutralize the stomach acid providing relief from indigestion. 5. Gets rid of chewing gum stuck in objects: Don’t you just hate it when gum gets stuck on your clothes, shoes or hair? Now you have an easy solution when next it happens. A few drops of Coke on the surface of the gum helps to scrape it off with ease. 6. Kill pesky pests in your garden: Coca-Cola also works as an effective pesticide for snails and slugs, courtesy of its acidic content. 7. Barbecue sauce enhancer: Apparently, a few drops of Coke intensifies the unique flavour in BBQ Sauce. We’re not sure if it will work for Ketchup, but it’s something worth trying if you dare. 8. Teeth dissolver: Don’t “throw away” your child’s tooth when it falls off. Simply dissolve it in a can of Coke. 9. Treats headaches: Thanks to the caffeine in Coca-Cola, you have a new remedy for the next annoying headache that comes your way. 10. Stops nausea: Feel like throwing up? Have a bottle of Coke; it’s as effective as ginger.
